Personal Narrative Essay: My First Time Going to Disney World

The last few days of 2020 for me were absolutely great! I got to spend them in Florida with my mom and her boyfriend Mike, because they had tickets to Disney World for the beginning of the new year. The few days we had until our days at Disney we stayed at Mike's dad's house and had a great New Years Eve. Then we made our way to Orlando. This is how my time at Disney World went.

We made it to our resort and after unpacking we got on a bus and went to Disney Springs and looked around at all the different stores. I loved every store, each one was so different from the other. Seeing all the disney themed stuff i wanted to buy everything.i did not get to buy anything the first day but enjoyed seeing what I could buy. 

The next day we went to Magic Kingdom, the first thing that we saw were all the Disney princesses! My favorite princess Ariel from The Little Mermaid even waved at me. I was so happy my mom laughed at how excited I was! The first ride I went on was Aladdin’s Magic Carpet ride. It was more for kids I believe, but I still enjoyed it. Then as we walked around the park and embraced it all, we made our way to Splash Mountain and that was one of my favorite rides there. By the end of the day we rode most of the rides in Magic Kingdom. Every food I tried tasted amazing, and the rides were great. 

After the day at Magic Kingdom we went to Hollywood studios,which was probably my favorite park. In the park they have Star Wars, Toy Story, and Cars and it was all so detailed it looked like it was straight out of each movie. There was an animatronic of Lighting McQueen from Cars that drove around and talked that was so real looking! Also all of the building in the Star Wars area were made to look very similar to the ones in the movies. Each area in Disney was beautifully detailed and was intricately designed. My favorite ride in this park was The Tower of Terror.It was like a haunted hotel walking in and it was creepy but the ride was definitely one of my favorites. It was really fun and I believe it is one of the most popular rides at Disney. That was probably the best day at Disney in my experience. 

Then there is Animal Kingdom. They have a bunch of animals to look at like tigers,lions,elephants,and giraffes and a bunch of rides. They have a whole area themed after the movie Avatar that is designed after the world in the movie that looked so beautiful and colorful. One of the rides is a boat ride called the Na'vi River that looks like it belongs directly in the avatar movie! The best ride in that park is the Mt.Everest roller coaster, one of the fastest roller coasters at Disney. They also have a mini safari where you get to see so many animals really close up, I got a bunch of pictures of all of them. My favorites were the giraffes and hippos. 

The last park is Epcot. It has a lot of areas themed after many different countries, and it has only a couple rides. The France area and the Japan area were undoubtedly my favorites. France had a lot of Beauty and the Beast themed things and had a theater with costumes of fairy tales based in france. In the Japan area had buildings that looked exactly like the buildings in Japan. Stores there had traditional japanese looking clothes and accessories. One of the areas was Italian themed, and had the best pizza I have ever had! It was cooked in a brick oven and was super cheesy, everyone loved it. In Epcot there are not many rides; the only one I rode is a roller coaster called the Test Track. It went really fast and was incredibly fun. 

My time at Disney world was incredibly fun. Shopping in all the stores at disney springs and Riding all the rides in the parks,best days of my life. I really loved the bonding time with my Mom and Mike. We had an absolutely great time . I'm so thankful for them and the chance to go Disney was everything I thought it would be.
